I must be missing something. I tried this. (Windows, IDLE, Python 2.5)
# Try each module
import sys
import numpy
import scipy
import string

dependencies = "numyp", "scipy"
for dependency in dependencies:
    try:
        __import__(dependency.name)
    except ImportError:
        # Uh oh!
        dependency.installed = None
    else:
        # The module loaded OK. Get a handle to it and try to extract
        # version info.
        # Many Python modules follow the convention of providing their
        # version as a string in a __version__ attribute.
        module = sys.modules[dependency.name]

        # This is what I default to.
        dependency.installed = "[version unknown]"

        for attribute_name in ("__version__", "__VERSION__", "VERSION",
                               "version"):
            if hasattr(module, attribute_name):
                dependency.installed = getattr(module, attribute_name)
                break

The result was this.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Wayne/Sandia_Meteors/Trajectory_Estimation/dependency_code", line 10, in <module>
    __import__(dependency.name)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'name'
